My heart in creating this guide was to take away the overwhelm.

Sowing in Grace & Abundance: A Faith-Based Chaos Garden Guide & Devotional

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

I’ve been so busy and so sick… these two things don’t go together, but I think I am on the mend now. I’ve missed a couple of deadlines that I had set for myself and I wasn’t able to get a couple of things posted on the blog, but I’m trying to catch up a bit. Maybe I’ve just set my goals too high for this year? I won’t give up on them though… the timeline just might get altered a little bit.

I know I’ve done some videos on CHAOS GARDENING, and I know it isn’t for everyone, but it can be fun. It is also something that kids can help with. I’ve put together a little guide with some suggested seed mixes to try. I also find gardening helps bring me closer to GOD and can really help me when I’m feeling a bit stressed… I combined this garden guide with an optional devotional, if you’d like to give it a try.

I’ve also added some edible flower suggestions to the guide. This method of gardening works really well when you have a bunch of old seeds that need to be used up too… does anyone else have that problem?

As many of you know, I went down a rabbit hole not too long ago and the things I have learned have totally transformed my life, for the better. Things can still be confusing, and I am by NO MEANS an EXPERT on this topic, but I feel led to share what I have been learning and I will update posts as we continue on this journey.

Today, I want to share with you a little about how we have been celebrating the Biblical Feasts and Sabbath. I will also give you some scripture references for each celebration. This is intended as a starting point for others who may have stumbled upon this as I did. Please do your own research and pray about how GOD will lead you on your journey.

Beginner’s Garden Guide: Growing With Faith & Confidence Printable

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while, but like always, LIFE keeps happening, and things I want to do get put on the back burner. I’ve been setting small goals as I’ve talked about in previous posts, and working on things a little at a time until they are finished.

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

-Genesis 2:15 KJV

There isn’t one perfect way to start a garden, but I do have a few tips to help you get started. That’s the most important part… just get started! Remember, you aren’t stuck unless you STOP! People have been gardening since the beginning of time… it really doesn’t need to be super complicated, unless you make it that way.

I do plan to make a more detailed guide that includes permaculture principles, but this is a super beginner friendly guide to get you started.

Biblical Feasts: Key Dates for 2026

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

Unlike holidays, where the dates usually fall at the same time every year, Holy Days are not set dates. I always have to check the Jewish calendars as the Biblical Feasts vary according to certain signs like cycles of the moon and sun, which I have no way to accurately calculate. The dates can vary, depending on the calendar you use, as the Jewish dates usually begin at sundown the day before.

In Leviticus 23, the Feasts are mentioned, and there are numerous other mentions of them in the Bible. God has sent out our invitations, so we should accept them and celebrate these Feasts in gratitude for all that HE has done for us.

Here are the specific dates for the main festivals of the year:

You may notice that the Feasts fall in two different seasons, Spring and Fall. These also coincide with harvest times. Below are some of the links to posts that we have made for the individual Feasts:
